July 1
Is the National Day of Canada and the
Feast day of Saints Gall of Clermont, Aaron and Julius, S Eparchius or
Cybard, Oliver Plunket, Carilephus or I like the idea of St. Oliver Plunket. There is a resonance about it. Who was he, and when and why was he beatified? Anyone know? (I bet Russen does.) It was the day in 1690 when, at the George Sand was born in 1804, though
at the time she was better known as Amandine Dupin.
Louis Blériot was born in 1872, 1899 and Charles Laughton in 1899.
Charles Goodyear, he of the tyres, died in 1860, and Allan Pinkerton, of the Detective Agency, in 1884. Harriet Beecher Stowe died in 1896 and Charles Duran in 1997. You may know Charles better as Robert Mitchum. He was no relation to Duran Duran. Editor |
